Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Perrion Winfrey was arrested for an alleged assault in Texas on Monday, according to court records.

Harris County court records state that Winfrey is accused of causing bodily injury to a woman he was dating by grabbing her with his hand.

Court records state Winfrey and the woman got into an "argument over a dog and keys to a rental car."

"The defendant attempted to force the complainant to leave with him, and when she would not, he tried to force her to. Bystanders intervened, and the defendant stopped trying to force the complainant to leave with him," court records state.

Court documents state that the woman said Winfrey had assaulted her before.

On that occasion, Winfrey went to the home of one of the woman's friends and kicked in the door while looking for her, court documents state. Winfrey placed a tracking device on the woman's vehicle and followed her before assaulting her, according to court records.

A Browns official said the team was aware of the situation and was working to gather more information.

Winfrey was drafted by the Brownsin 2022 as the 108th pick. Early in his rookie season, he was dismissed from practice for disciplinary reasons and missed a game.
